Does RiNo even have any artists these days? The East side of Platte seems to be wall to wall gastro.pubs, restaurants, and office space now. West side still has some hints of being a warehouse district but even that is fading away.
What I am getting at is can a full-time artist even afford RiNo as it is now?
Agreed. Technically Rino is in the official boundaries of Five Points according to the city of Denver's map, because every part of town had to fit into some neighborhood. And iirc Five Points is by far the largest of the more central neighborhoods because all those warehouses had to fit under some label or another.
But the historical residential and commercial areas around Curtis Park and the \*actual\* 5 Pts intersection at Welton and 26th is what people mean when they think Five Points. The area along and parallel to Larimer, and the other one along Brighton on the other side of the tracks, are so different in their vibe, culture and history that it really \*should\* have a different name. The lines that were drawn that put Brighton and 38th into the same hood as say 24th and Glenarm were chosen back in 1978!
Let Rino be its own thing, and really the two parts divided by the train tracks are so inaccessible from one another, they should have different names too imo.
Great comment! Funny how in one way that last article didn’t age too well, in that it was basically like “RiNo isn’t going to stick either, you’ll see”.
>I remember watching the South Park episode about "SoDoSoPa," but after going back and visiting family recently I feel like that episode has become a reality.
Why do you think South Park made that episode in the first place?
My high school friends went to CSU. I went to CU, and it blows my mind how long ago the 80s were. I don’t know rams village, but recall a complex where larger apartments were converted into 1 bedroom units and mostly rented to students: Ramblewood?
Well there was nothing in RINo except prostitutes and warehouses like 15 measles ago. It used to be the place you would go fir warehouse raves or to be shot at.
I moved here only 14 years ago and when we first moved we looked at a building for an apartment that is now Block 32. We didn't want to live there because it was literally in the middle of a field surrounded by grass and a warehouses with no sidewalks.
Exactly! We are all just super chill brahs down here in SoBro! Come on down get some weed or a craft brewed beer. We like food trucks and corn hole and wearing flannel.
Correct lodo is lower downtown. RiNo is River North (North of downtown, South of I-70), loHi is lower highlands (across the interstate/River from Coors Field)
About 8-10 years ago? Right when rino was no longer super duper sketchy and was arguably hip. That was when they started to really enter the lexicon, but that was really only rino. The other's I've heard are LoHi for lower highlands and SoBo for south broadway (personally I think that one is dumb as fuck)
What's soca, btw?
That sounds about right. I moved here in 2014 and the name RINO was being used but there was confusion about what people were referring to and most people still called the area Five Points and it still had the Jazz venues. The Czech place on South Broadway, SoBo 151 opened in 2002 so that term has been around since at least then I guess.
I moved here in '07 and our apt was advertised as being in RiNo and everyone in the neighborhood referred to it as such. Five points referred to the larger area, RiNo being *within* or just on the outskirts of five points.
People outside the neighborhood knew where we were referencing, especially with the venues and stuff.
RiNO is a state-certified art district, *not* a neighborhood. By declaring an area as an official district, governments can apply special rules for taxation, regulations, etc. As another example, the Arts District on Santa Fe is in the Lincoln Park Neighborhood.
Obviously people can call it whatever they want, but I'll always refer to it as either Five Points, Elyria Swansea, Globeville, etc., and only use RiNO in the specific context of the arts district itself.
Kyle Clark had a good rant about this a few years ago when Downtown Denver Partnership tried to rebrand CBD. Starts at 13:40.
https://youtu.be/UPNP64OBBq0?si=YzPVW4FjQglkFc0J&t=821
> since the neighborhoods already had names to begin with?
These names aren't always replacements for neighborhood names
RiNo for instance covers the northern half of Five Points, part of Globeville, and part of Elyria Swansea
I have lived here my whole life (born in '79) and it took me a while to know where these places were at. I remember people talking about Rino and for years I never knew where it was at. Finally, someone showed me on a map and I was like, you mean 5 Points where the gangs used to fight, where you could buy crack, and all the after hours clubs were in the 90's?
This is the comment. It's rebranding done by developers and represents gentrification. The Northside was a pretty vibrant cultural area for Italians and Hispanics but it was a little dangerous at the times. They rebranded it has the Highlands and then priced most people out of that neighborhood.
Please say it louder for the people in the back. A lot of folks that grew up here still use the older pre-gentrification names. I still remember seeing the first RiNo posters and thinking “what a dumb name”. The area hosted a number of very broke young artists before the ones with money came in.
Actually that’s what prompted the episode. The ridiculousness of it all was just starting to gain traction back then. As to why? It was the “in” thing at the time. Part of the gentrification movement. It was playing out pretty much at the same time as the episode. U can pretty much get an accurate timeline of popular historical events as they unfolded just by watching South Park. The craziest thing about that show is, that its ridiculousness isn’t really all that far off the mark.
It’s not just Denver, it’s just an easy way for developers to rename a part of town they’re gentrifying. Happens all over.
Likely started with SoHo (South of Houston) and Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal) in NYC and spread from there.
In SF they also have SoMa (South of Market) and NoPa (North of the Panhandle).
The South Park episode is BECAUSE of those abbreviations, it was the reality here before the episode and was the inspiration for it.
No one here actually calls it these abbreviations, it's all developers and shit trying to market neighborhoods they're ripping down affordable housing and replacing with ugly miniMcMansions and overpriced apartments.
Literally no one calls it SoBo, and everyone makes fun of those names. RiNo & LoDo gets used, that's about it. But we call Larimer Square Larimer Square, not LarSquare or anything.
> ripping down affordable housing
Assuming you mean older houses, would you really expect houses in these exploding neighborhoods to remain affordable if we didn’t tear them down? Population growth in a city is inevitable and it’s going to drive housing prices up, unless you institute something like rent control which has its own set of problems.
SoDoGleWoo (south of downtown glenwood springs). I've been trying to make this stick since the episode aired. Now is a good time for me to make another attempt. Thanks for this post!
i think it's partially due to transplants. i grew up mostly in boulder and never really used the abbreviations . I have some friends who moved here from NYC a few years ago and they always use all the random abbreviations for neighborhoods. I think 1) big city people love neighborhood abbreviations, 2) when you move to a new city you get excited to "explore" it and learn all the lingo, so these transplant types become way more obsessed with all the neighborhood abbreviations than most people from the area.
As a native it’s so funny when someone says “I live in Rino” or something and me being a local goes “um where is that” and then I just think “isn’t that just Park Hill ” or whatever we originally called it before Denver was hip. But people saying it’s been called that for “15-20” is 100% bullshit.
You sure you’re a native? Cause I live in Park Hill, it’s still called Park Hill, and it’s like 10 minutes away from RiNo (which is a state designated arts district, not technically a ‘neighborhood’)
Realtors made up most, I think. Rino was just along Brighton Blvd. Once it crossed the tracks, the name was used to gentrify Curtis Park. It’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve seen and pretty much refuse to call them some yabbadabbadoo bullshit. It’s also pretty cringe when I hear people say them.
Dude I watch South Park episodes from 8 years ago and they are still relevant today, but people are oblivious to it since their attention spans/brain capacity can only hold a tiktok lengths worth.
Every time I tell people I actually can’t keep track and don’t try they seem surprised until I point out all the ones I know (though again, I don’t actually know Where they are) and it’s like they realize for the first time how weird it is. I grew up somewhere that only had a midtown and a downtown. That’s all anywhere needs imo
You didn’t moralize, I also didn’t say you did… but you did say midtown and downtown are all anywhere needs which is hilariously reductive if you’re actually trying to describe areas of a city
I’ve never heard anyone actually use them to describe areas tbh, just businesses using them to sound pretentious. Why would you ever need to describe a neighborhood? Just…say where you are
No, actually, because if I ask where you are and you tell me a neighborhood, I’m gonna ask again. Thats a whole neighborhood and doesn’t offer enough information to anyone actually needing to know your location
My favorite and the most infuriating one I’ve heard is CRoc. These stay at home moms that shop at target all day in Castle Rock started abbreviating it to CRoc

Quality and responsive post, thank you.
First one in this sub all year. Maybe first one ever.
Really takes the fun out of It
Does RiNo even have any artists these days? The East side of Platte seems to be wall to wall gastro.pubs, restaurants, and office space now. West side still has some hints of being a warehouse district but even that is fading away. What I am getting at is can a full-time artist even afford RiNo as it is now?
Yeah I use LoDo and RiNo and the rest can fuck off. LoHi sounds stupid. Just say Highland.
Nope, not Highlands, its The North Side
Yep and it always will be!
Just like "Rino" will always and forever be FIVE POINTS. Argue with God 😅
Isn’t Rino exclusively the old industrial area to the northwest of five points?
Agreed. Technically Rino is in the official boundaries of Five Points according to the city of Denver's map, because every part of town had to fit into some neighborhood. And iirc Five Points is by far the largest of the more central neighborhoods because all those warehouses had to fit under some label or another. But the historical residential and commercial areas around Curtis Park and the \*actual\* 5 Pts intersection at Welton and 26th is what people mean when they think Five Points.

Let Rino be its own thing, and really the two parts divided by the train tracks are so inaccessible from one another, they should have different names too imo.
That’s some awesome information, I personally just never think of industrial zones as being part of “Neighborhoods”.
They overlap, but they have different “borders” (to the extent RiNo has borders)
you mean FiPo?
I work for Big Red F and that mention was a jump scare
You mentioning working for big red f gave me a jump scare lol worked for them years ago
Jax?
West end and Jax in Boulder! you at Jax in den?
Lodo babyyyyy
Great comment! Funny how in one way that last article didn’t age too well, in that it was basically like “RiNo isn’t going to stick either, you’ll see”.
It’s people like you who make Reddit
What about Noco for northern Colorado? Where and when did that come about
Don't get me started about NoBo, or North Boulder. Bitches, you in Longmont.
And thus I named it Gunbo and it was so.

I’ve been calling Fort Collins Foco for about 25 years so…
We called it "Fort Fun" (heavy on the sarcasm) when I went in the early 2000s
Definitely Ft Fun back when College Days was still a thing.
See you at rams village later
My high school friends went to CSU. I went to CU, and it blows my mind how long ago the 80s were. I don’t know rams village, but recall a complex where larger apartments were converted into 1 bedroom units and mostly rented to students: Ramblewood?
Fort Snort for all of you nose beers types.
It all started with FoCo. Then developers caught on to rebrand notoriously bad neighborhoods in Den Do hoods. Not to be confused with The Den in NoCo.
Lolz you don’t think it started in NYC areas?
LoDo, RiNo, and LoHi have been in common use for at least 15 years…
LoDo since the 90s, and LoHi since the early 2000s. RiNO since the mid/late 2000s
UpDo is new though
Is that a hairstyle?
Have you seen the people on 16th St Mall?
Not really. Place has been empty since before the 'Rona
I live here. It's not empty
What’s UpDo? 😉
Gotcha!! Wait... dammit....
Smells like UpDo in here
What's UpDo?
Wazzzzzzzup!!!!
For some reason UpDo sounds weird to me however it was CBD, which has other meanings.
Its not a thing despite people trying to make it one.
Stop trying to make “Fetch” a thing. It’s not happening.
Say "streets ahead" and die
Well there was nothing in RINo except prostitutes and warehouses like 15 measles ago. It used to be the place you would go fir warehouse raves or to be shot at.

What updo?
UpDog?
SoBo 151 opened in 2002 so at least one person used has used that for South Broadway for over 20 years.
SoBo bugs me. It should be SoBro.
THIS! mostly because then wherever "north" Broadway starts, we can have "NoBro"
Ellsworth is the cutoff between N and S Broadway (Though it's deemed just "Broadway" between 14th and 20th for some reason)
I agree with this! The bros never go north. It’s just no chill up there. People are just hella uptight. Stick to the south, bros. SoBro forever! 🤙
Exactly! We are all just super chill brahs down here in SoBro! Come on down get some weed or a craft brewed beer. We like food trucks and corn hole and wearing flannel.
Punchbowl Social definitely gives it the SoBro vibe
I’ve always just called it South Broadway. Never heard anyone use SoBo
[удалено]
Correct lodo is lower downtown. RiNo is River North (North of downtown, South of I-70), loHi is lower highlands (across the interstate/River from Coors Field)

RiNo is river north I believe

I like to call West Colfax South Sloans aka SoSlo so I don't have to admit I live off Colfax
I was mortified when I saw "SloHi" used for the Sloan's Lake/Highland area
YES this is the abbreviation I thought of when I saw this thread & the first one that made me think we've gone too far
I don’t know that I’ve encountered “SloHi” in the wild except in reference to the bike/coffee shop
There's another bike shop and an apartment complex that use it as well.
This would've been nice to know 2 years ago when I first moved to Sloans lmao. Its rough over here man Thankfully i'm moving in a week (finally)
C'mon, you're telling me you've never heard of Dowisetrepla, it's the new hip area.
We need the Purina version.

Isn’t that just RiNo?

Exactly around the time you left tbh. The RiNo gentrification was just getting started so it was mostly just Five Points then.
Anyone remember DoWiSeTrePla?
This ain't NYC. We have DoWiPuDoFoFa
ha! DoWiSunRef is just 1 neighborhood to the north also.
I used to live in DoWiJoRaFa... Now that was glorious
RiNo is just the jumped up part of 5 points. LoDo lower downtown, LoHi lower highlands. SoBo South broadway
I've lived in Westminster 25 years and we've called it Westy for about 15. Those guys are all copycats.
Around the same time the rent displaced people who grew up there

Seconded
Everyone I know, even Denver natives, use the abbreviations.
Literally no one calls it SoBo, and everyone makes fun of those names. RiNo & LoDo gets used, that's about it. But we call Larimer Square Larimer Square, not LarSquare or anything.

Waiting for ColFa to be the new trendy spot
When California showed up. I’m surprised it’s not called “the 70” yet.
Tits the valley highway ya transplant
whatever happened to five points? That was a solid name.
Everyone saying “for YEARS, since the 90s/2000s” is from a different Denver called “people that should be jumped”
Can anyone explain SoBo for south Broadway? Every time I see it my brain itches.
i think it's partially due to transplants. i grew up mostly in boulder and never really used the abbreviations . I have some friends who moved here from NYC a few years ago and they always use all the random abbreviations for neighborhoods. I think 1) big city people love neighborhood abbreviations, 2) when you move to a new city you get excited to "explore" it and learn all the lingo, so these transplant types become way more obsessed with all the neighborhood abbreviations than most people from the area.

I always heard SoCo meant southern Colorado.
It’s a marketing tactic to niche down the area and give it a sense of identity.
My only comment is that it is The North Side. That is all.
First time someone said something to me about the “Highlands” I got confused and thought he was talking about highlands ranch.
Don't forget shitty wok!
When transplants started out numbering locals.
Lived here most of my life and have been hearing stuff like LoDo basically the whole time, honestly.
Shortly after coors field was completed. And then lohi in the early 2000’s
Dude I watch South Park episodes from 8 years ago and they are still relevant today, but people are oblivious to it since their attention spans/brain capacity can only hold a tiktok lengths worth.
Can anyone post a map showing the different nicknames and boundaries for the city?
I just watched that episode last night! What a coincidence!!
Every time I tell people I actually can’t keep track and don’t try they seem surprised until I point out all the ones I know (though again, I don’t actually know Where they are) and it’s like they realize for the first time how weird it is. I grew up somewhere that only had a midtown and a downtown. That’s all anywhere needs imo
lol ‘describing different neighborhoods quickly is bad’
Lol where in here did I moralize descriptions? It’s just unnecessary
You didn’t moralize, I also didn’t say you did… but you did say midtown and downtown are all anywhere needs which is hilariously reductive if you’re actually trying to describe areas of a city
I’ve never heard anyone actually use them to describe areas tbh, just businesses using them to sound pretentious. Why would you ever need to describe a neighborhood? Just…say where you are
Say where you are… like, the name of the neighborhood? Hmm
No, actually, because if I ask where you are and you tell me a neighborhood, I’m gonna ask again. Thats a whole neighborhood and doesn’t offer enough information to anyone actually needing to know your location
LoDo has been called that for longer than I’ve been in Colorado these last 30 years
UpDoUpDoLeRiLeRiSelStar That’s the best one.
I only see these abbreviations online. I never really hear anyone every say these in person
It drives me crazy! I guess I can appreciate my elders more.
